Surely you agree that punishment comes in degrees. What's the smallest degree you'd be willing to call punishment? Would "consequences" be a better word? To my thinking "punishment" is just "negative consequences"

Whether or not we agree there's a spectrum to what can be called "punishment", surely we agree that negative social pressures may be appropriate in some situations where something like a monetary fine would not, right?

And that still leaves entirely open the question of which negative consequences are appropriate in which situation.
